Hell In a Cell
“The Demon” Finn Balor vs. WWE Hall of Famer Edge

We return inside SoFi Stadium where the Hell In A Cell cage is lowered over the ring and then some cool music plays as the lights go out and we see candle images everywhere. The music is bad ass but new and one of the competitors comes out with an insane disco ball style mask / helmet on. Think Shockmaster but with a 2023 style helmet with a limitless budget.

Eventually the helmet / mask comes off and the familiar sounds of Edge’s theme hits. A very, very fired up “Rated-R Superstar” emerges and heads to the ring looking completely pumped up for tonight. He settles inside the cage-covered ring and takes his coat off.

Now we hear some heartbeats or foot steps and see clouds and lightning above the ring. Smoke billows out of the entrance stage and the bad ass theme for “The Demon” version of Finn Balor plays. Heel or not, it’s too cool and the fans show it a ton of love, as you’d expect.

Balor comes out with his Demon gear and paint on, while holding two foggers or smokers that shoot out purple smoke. He does a guy on molly with glow sticks routine as he heads to the ring. Two very cool entrances for this one. Big fight feel, folks! Here we go.

Rey Mysterio vs. Dominik Mysterio

Now another video package airs showing the hardened criminal Dom doing hard time in prison. He is released from his cell in hand cuffs and led by police guards out of the jail building and into a police van.

The police siren blares and then we shoot inside SoFi Stadium where the police van backs into the arena led by some police motorcycle motorcade people. Cool entrance. Dom pops out of the van in cuffs still, with a hoodie up. He takes the hoodie off to reveal he is wearing a Rey Mysterio-style mask.

Cops lead the hardened criminal to the ring in an entrance that would be super bad ass on anyone else, but is actually super cool in a funny way for Dom. Either way, entertaining stuff. The fans boo the crap out of him as he makes his way to the ring.

Corey Graves is off to the races with his hilarious commentary talking super serious about how dangerous a criminal Dom is and how illegal it is for him to even be competing in L.A. The penal code blah blah. That type stuff. Gotta love it. The stuff Dom went through would make a man never smile again. You have to love it.

The camera shot shows Angie and Aliyah, Dom’s mom and sister, sitting at ringside. The same two women he scolded to finally convince pops to accept the fight tonight. Dom’s music dies down and now he awaits the arrival of his opponent.

Gin N Juice by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre plays and out comes Rey Mysterio in a low-rider, the same way he would with Eddie Guerrero. Snoop Dogg is driving the car and “Da Game is to be sold, not to be told” is shown in lit-up letters on the open trunk.

“Viva la raza! I lie, I cheat, I steal!” plays as Rey emerges and rides to the ring with Snoop Dogg to the same music he came to the ring with Eddie Guerrero to in the old days. He hops out of the car and his Booya-kah 6-1-9 regular theme plays. Snoop bobs his head as Rey heads to the top of the entrance stage and does his normal ring entrance routine as the crowd goes wild.

Backstage:

Finn Balor says it was always going to be this way. You are familiar with the Cell and you say you thrive in the cell. Now you want to lock yourself in the cell with him. Don’t you know there is nothing more dangerous than a caged demon. Go to your dark place, light your candles, and do whatever you need to do to unlock it and summon it. Finn says he doesn’t summon his demons, they are always there, you just have to look closely.

A rivalry as venomous and vicious as Edge and Finn Bálor’s can only end one way: inside Hell in a Cell.

Almost one year ago, Edge founded The Judgment Day with Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley, before Finn Bálor stole the faction away from him in vicious fashion.

Since then, The Rated-R-Superstar has been on a rampant quest to destroy the very group he created. To this end, Edge has tangled in his hometown of Toronto against Priest, helped Rey Mysterio defeat The Judgment Day at SummerSlam and even faced Bálor in an “I Quit” Match at WWE Extreme Rules.

Despite Edge’s efforts, The Judgment Day has managed to grow stronger, most notably adding Dominik Mysterio to its ranks. In his match against Bálor at Extreme Rules, the dark faction forced Edge to say “I Quit” before Ripley took his wife Beth Phoenix out of action with a Con-Chair-To. Ultimately, the Grit Couple returned to defeat Bálor and Ripley at WWE Elimination Chamber but, despite the loss, The Prince was hellbent on inflicting punishment on The Ultimate Opportunist.

As their rivalry continued to rage on, Edge officially challenged Bálor to a match at WrestleMania on the March 13th edition of Raw, but this time with a twist: their clash will take place inside Hell in a Cell.

Edge is no stranger to Hell in a Cell, including a victory against Seth “Freakin” Rollins at Crown Jewel 2021 and way back in a hard-fought matchup against The Undertaker in SummerSlam 2028. The Prince, however, will be stepping inside the Devil’s Playground for the first time. The Show of Shows hasn’t had a Hell in a Cell Match since The Undertaker defeated Shane McMahon seven years ago at WrestleMania 32.

Can Edge finally rid the WWE Universe of The Judgment Day and send Bálor straight to hell? WrestleMania goes Hollywood for a special two-night Premium Live Event, Saturday, April 1, and Sunday, April 2, at 8 ET/5 PT, streaming live on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.

We are live from the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, RI, as Edge makes his way to the ring to start the show.

Edge looks around and he says that never gets old and that is why he does it. Edge says he knows why he is here. Providence knows why he is here. Edge tells Finn Balor to get out here right now to finally be done with this.

THE Judgment Day appears at the entrance and they slowly walk toward the aisle.

Finn tells Edge he is live and in the flesh. For once, he agrees with all of these clowns and he wants to hear what Edge has to say.

Edge says he didn’t come here to say anything. He came here to end this. If you are going to hide back there, then you are going to sick Lurch, Wednesday, and Puggsley on me. You challenged me to a match at Wrestlemania and if you don’t want to come into the ring now, you got your matcch.

Finn says he is going to Wrestlemania. If you think the beating you got at Extreme Rules…

Edge says he has wasted his comeback with you. The year before this, he wrestled in front of TV screens. He is running out of time. You pulled THE Judgment Day from under me and you made it better. You fit in better with those bitter malcontents. You are an Emo Delight. It has worked. Every other week, you have left me laying. You made me utter two words I thought I would never say when I said “I Quit”.

Then you still bashed Beth’s skull in with a Conchairto. For the last year, you have tried to make my life a living hell. Most of the time, you have accomplished it. There is only one way for it to end… at WRESTLEMANIA, Edge versus Finn Balor… HELL IN A CELL.

Balor says he has been to hell before and it spit him out because it could not handle his demons. Finn says he will see Edge at Wrestlemania. Until then… The Judgment Day marches to the ring. Edge fights but they beat him down to boos. Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae and Dexter Lumis make the save as we go to commercial.
